So the greatest common factor 5234,8388 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,6060
2 | 118, 6060 |
59, 3030 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 3030 = 357540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/357540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5234/118,8388/6060 is 2/357540
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 118,6060 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,6060) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,6060) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,6060) = ( 118 × 6060 ) / 2
LCM(118,6060) = 715080 / 2
LCM(118,6060) = 357540
